Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

This is how community works. "We are not a good people, until all the people are good!" (K. Dockstader, Oneida)

Today, we got turkeys to 40 families. And I couldn't be more happy to be part of this every holiday. I love the people who give of their time and resources with such gracious kindness. 40 Indigenous families got part of the meal for this long weekend. Rest well, relatives. I am very tired ♥️🪶

GM. I’m short on rent by $200.00 DUE 2 days ago and I’m humbly asking ANYONE to buy my beadwork. Potawatomi made. www.melancholynow.com Your purchase helps keep 2 single parent Native families housed (I live w/ my sister and niece). 1 pin-3 pair of earrings.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

The Shrinking of Bears Ears is going to be devastating to one of the most treasured landscapes. Destroying all our wildlands just for some to get a bit richer.

There are 41 million people living with HIV. Almost 1 in 4 of those do not have access to the treatment that prevents AIDS, saves lives and halts onward transmission. Sadly, as international aid cuts bite, that proportion is predicted to increase. We have the tools to end HIV, we lack the will.

Some things Indigenous People have in common I am Choctaw. I should know Choctaw the way a bird should know to sing. If a bird can't sing, is it still a bird? #Chahta Anukfohka: Remember: Pim aiimvlpesa micha anumpa yvt bilia micha biliaske! Our traditions and language are forever and always!

He NEVER went up his own ass, and for a global Hollywood superstar that is a very very rare thing. A visibly moved HARRISON FORD accepting his AFI Life Achievement Award in L.A earlier this year.

When the Gatlinburg Wildfires happened in 2016, Dolly gave impacted families $1,000/month to help them get back on their feet. This included my father-in-law, who lost everything in the fire. Dolly gave children in TN free books each month, from birth to the age of five. She was a goddamn saint.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

If you have enough money that you can blow $100,000,000 on avoiding taxes, you have enough money to pay $100,000,000 *on* taxes that will help your fellow citizens, you self-centered prick.
